Functions

copyRecursively

 open static fun copyRecursively(src: File, dest: File): Unit
open static fun copyRecursively(src: Path, dest: Path): Unit

Recursively copy the contents of the src file/directory to the dest file/directory.

deleteRecursively

 open static fun deleteRecursively(root: File): Boolean

Delete the supplied File - for directories, recursively delete any nested directories or files as well.

Note: Like File#delete(), this method does not throw any exception but rather silently returns false in case of I/O errors. Consider using #deleteRecursively(Path) for NIO-style handling of I/O errors, clearly differentiating between non-existence and failure to delete an existing file.

open static fun deleteRecursively(root: Path): Boolean
